This document discusses structural and behavioral adaptations of tigers and plants. Tigers have striped coats that provide camouflage and help them sneak up on prey. They also have extremely sensitive hearing that allows them to communicate over long distances and detect predators or prey. Cobra lily flowers attract insects but then trap and digest them, providing the plant with nitrogen. Their roots are delicate but allow regeneration after fires and help survive fluctuating temperatures in their habitat.

2. Tiger
Type of Adaptation: Structural Adaptation:
What the Adaptation is: Striped Coat
How does the adaptation help it to survive: The tiger's striped coat helps
them blend in well with the sunlight that comes through the trees to the
jungle floor. The tiger's camouflage to their surroundings is greater because
the striping also helps break up their body shape, making them difficult to
detect from their prey.
Type of Adaptation: Behavioural
What is the Adaptation: Very strong sense of hearing
How does the adaptation help it to survive: The tiger's sense of hearing is so
sharp that they are capable of hearing sound waves below the range of
normally audible sound. Tigers use infrasound to communicate over long
distances such as dense forest vegetation because the sound is capable of
passing through trees and mountains. Their strong sense of hearing can be
used to hear incoming enemies or prey.

3. Cobra Lily/ Pitcher Plant
Type of Adaptation: Structural Adaptation
What the Adaption is: Flower growth
How does it help the plant to survive: Flowers growing on a plant is usually a
welcoming and growing peaceful plant meaning that insects can stop to rest on this
carnivorous plant in which the plant would drown the insects which is the way that
the flower digests its food. It adapted to finding its nitrogen requirements through
carnivory, which helps to make up for the lack of available nitrogen in some habitats.
Type of Adaptation:
What the Adaption is: Survive Ragging Temperatures
How does it help the plant to survive: The cobra lily is able to survive fire by
regenerating from its roots, but despite this important role the roots are very delicate.
While the temperatures in much of the species range can exceed 25 °C. The plant
roots die after exposure to temperatures not much higher than 10 °C. Temperature
plays a large part in the functioning of all plants, but it is very rare for individual organs
to have such different temperature characteristics.
